"'Xbox' & 'Microsoft' Logos Will not Bypass at Startup".

I have a problem with one of my classmate's Xbox console. Everytime the power is applied to the Xbox & I've turned it on, it will show the Xbox & Microsoft logos for a very long time. As an electronics technician apprentice (still a student at my trade school), I am assuming that it may be either one of the chips that's in the motherboard or the hard drive. But just in case my assumptions are incorrect, can someone help me resolve this particular problem? Thank you very much!^^

Hi,
i,d suggest that it,s possibly a replacement hard-drive, or that a file on the drive has been moved or deleted.
Usually if an xbox has an error, it will frag ( flash red/green ) Or ( Orange/Green ) if the A/V Is Faulty. Also as to whether youre getting on-screen error codes. usually top left/right of screen.
error 5 et,c. means hard-drive unlocked.
Due to Fixyas terms and policys, i cannot tell you exactly how to fix this, but i can tell you that it is not unrepairable.
the hard-drive is locked to the motherboards eeprom chip, so is therefore only replaceable, with certain tools.
should you need more information regarding this, feel free to ask.

If you suspect that you are experiencing this issue, you can submit a console-repair request online. However, before you submit your request, we ask that you first try the following two steps to verify that you are indeed experiencing this issue:

1. When you turn on the console, examine the light on the power supply. The power supply light should illuminate green even if the three lights on the Ring of Light flash red. If the power supply light is not green, please follow the steps that are listed in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base articles:

2. Turn off the console. Wait 10 seconds, and then turn on the console again to see whether the symptom occurs again. If your console continues to display the three flashing red lights, your console may have to be repaired.

You may have a laser problem or a faulty DVD drive, you could try a lens cleaning CD in the console or you could call Microsoft and explain your situation, the DVD is replaceable but it may be more work than you are willing to undertake.
